The "Hercules" sculpture depicts Hercules wearing the famous Nemean Lion headdress. Hercules first labor, as detailed in Apollodorus’ Bibliotheca, was to slay the Nemean Lion. The skin of the Nemean Lion was impenetrable and so Hercules had to use his immense strength to subdue the lion. Hercules used the head of the lion as a heroic headdress and the skin as an armor; it being impervious to the elements and weapons.

In the creation of “Hercules” the Master Sculptor set out to capture the spirit of the mighty warrior. The Nemean Lion headdress and Hercules' powerful physique are central to the composition of this heroic sculpture. A true masterpiece and art treasure!

The Sculptor’s works have appeared in such notable places as The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, The Basketball Hall of Fame, The John F. Kennedy Medical Center, The New England Sports Museum and The Boston University.

I'm a Professional Sculptor who love to capture the details in everything I create. I’m inspired by nature, architecture and ancient Greek and Roman classical sculpture. I enjoy taking this inspiration of the classics and blending them together with a contemporary interpretation for my works. I love creating heroic sculptures that are both beautiful and strong.
